Working with people with drive

Just got off the phone with a nice guy. We talked about helping people, and particularly about helping brainwashed people inside the Church of Scientology. And I told him what people I prefer to help these days.

Just a few months ago, I would get fired up about trying to help people “see the truth” or “wake up”. No longer.

While I appreciate other’s effort in helping a person wake up from a brainwashed daze, I find my own interest in such waning.

I prefer to work with those who have a drive rather than those who try their best to keep the status quo.

And it doesn’t matter where that “drive” leads – as long as the person really wants to change and reach some goal, I am all in. My interest and ability to help people with a drive is high, and that’s where I will focus.

This “too much” has been staying with me. Rightfully. It can mean irresponsibility.
There is a case, when I can feel that another has a drive=lots of theta but it is ‘burried’ under some seemingly plain ‘stupidity’, which is the result of ‘ignorance’. Ignorance can be the result of not knowing a vital piece of information. The person, in an extreme case, can even die. It seems to me that both free will and being informed are in operation.
What do you think?

Geir – Excellent! I hadn’t viewed that one. Reminded me of the video’s of Ken Robinson. Youtube – Ken Robinson – The element is quite similar. In truth, one can only work “with” those people with drive. The other, more common option, is having work for you, or work under you, or work you demand – all in essence other determined. Working with the person with drive is a composite working environment allowing each and every person to remain self determined. I fully believe that will always in the end be the most productive group effort.

I came to the same conclusion through helping people who have left the church. Some are still fixed on their concept of “standard tech” and the only thing they notice is what is different about my approach. Others notice immediately that I am addressing what they wanted to handle in Scientology.

People with drive are concerned with getting results and they will discard stable datums that are no longer useful.

So what do you do that is seen as non-standard? I understand you want to handle for the person what bothers him/her, but what are the implications, how your handling differs from that considered a standard one?

My point is really only this: I will work with people who express a strong desire to change and achieve something – and as long as I can see that I can be of real value to their quests in life. I am done convincing people one-on-one that they should do something, change something or want something. Those who want a real boost in their lives will find me and ask for my assistance. I have no interest in selling.

– YOU are happy because you finally have found out that a project which aims to stop a suppressor whom the world fears does not stimulate your enthusiasm

and

– OSA is happy as they have found a proper way to keep you away from attacking the Church seriously; you, still recently having been the greatest threat to the Church in Europe

Did OSA send you PI or crews with video cameras to intimidate you?
Or did they give you the impression that Church members are happy with how things are, so they don’t want to be freed by you and other idealists?

My view is: In case that you did receive such flows then these cannot come from members who love the Church as it is because these people with their blinders would not even know your name as they don’t look for entheta stuff on the Internet.

It wouldn’t be the first time that the Church asks their members and staff to write letters and emails which are supposed to communicate something which helps the Church.

Stopcos, if you or another wants to know my opinion about the Church and Miscavige, is that, if those were Scientology’s problem, then the people that come out of it, would handle it all and be happy ever since. Is this what happens?

Also you don’t handle a problem by counter-creating it. That’s what the COS does against psychiatry and other ‘enemies’. Look at how they’re shrinking, and how the press treats them and what happened to the Guardian Office. War is irresponsible, and it’s been the Churches doom. I’m not suggesting to be in apathy. I’m suggesting to be more responsible than to play war. The result in one way or another is chaotic. Do you think that we experience what we postulate? If so, why create a war? We can create what we want.

There is a great novel, James Redfield The Secret of Shambala. In it you can read about
flows…or watch Matrix…or simply get the flow of theta-love…see what happens and who will
come your way….send or write you what…..

By the way, I think it could be a good idea to collaborate in a way or another and achieve some common purpose we may have. I know that there are independents that deliver. But I don’t mean exactly that. I don’t mean one delivering and the rest receiving. I mean teamwork –doing things with each other and for each other. I don’t know if this is within the purposes of this blog. It’s just an idea of mine. Any ideas?

Sure. It would be fantastic to have a list of people I could refer a person to depending on what he wants to achieve or handle in life. One guy could be great at handling kids with learning disabilities, while another could be superb at handling grief or misemotions. Yet another could be the best coach for soccer talents, etc. I’d love to have such a toolbox of people at our disposal.

Liked the video and post. Before I continue on to the comments I think appropriate here since you said “And it doesn’t matter where that “drive” leads – as long as the person really wants to change and reach some goal, I am all in.”

Well , let me tell you how your blog has helped me in the fascinating F**it arena. The book “F**kit Therapy is exactly what I needed, and I’ve been on, and still am on a retreat at home. As you say, a “I’m a work in progress.”
I found the “secret magic” that was very apparent in my mate, but I couldn’t seem to duplicate or understand it until now. Wow. I’ve had more life changing wins that I’m working on, than my last study of philosophical CD’s. Will not quote anything from the book, just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for finding this. So, thank you Isene! 🙂
